Jacquard Pants and a Button Down Shirt

And when an item of clothing made out of the queenly and decadent brocade fabric decides to do the talking ever so loudly, I minimize every other accessory including hair. Ha! So excuse my kinky curls, the pants made me do it! And my very chic Parisian photographer nodded her approval.

This floor grazing pair of woven silk pants caught my attention at The Galleria in Paris and without even trying them on, I happily splurged! The color, tapestry print and long length are a few things that made it lust worthy for me.

Draped or worn, I’ve always been a fan of brocade which is why the walls in my home are dressed in them as well. So as you can imagine, I was a happy camper when this old trend made a come back on runways. It is a hit worn either on special occasions or casual as shown here. And even though this is not a pair I’d wear regularly making cost per wear high, I just didn’t want to pass them up.

This eye catching piece is thankfully not as heavy as the typical brocade fabric (hey its silk!), one con was that it wasn’t slimming on me. I had gained quite a few LBs from eating when I was on vacation (don’t judge) but it was nice to be able to blame it on the pants. At least until I took them off and it was all me, ha! I paired them with classic button down shirt because they needed to remain the star of the look.

If you’ve been reading me, you’d know I’m not a fan of ear rings. But I did give my ear lobes a work out with this cute pair. They worked great with the red lipstick and red bag albeit pulling on my ears and making them look like Junior’s from the SuperMarioLogan movie ‘Big Ears’. A pair of orange wedges finished the look.I was in the mood to express myself through my makeup so I decided to go for a very bold, daring, far from boring yet fun makeuplook to match the attitude and carry the hair.

Oh Idu! These pants are just beautiful. Definitely worth the splurge, and I you so rocked it! And I don't wear earrings a lot, but I wouldn't mind something like yours:) Love the whole outfit, really:)Hope you're having a lovely weekend so far!

I love the money talks idea cause it brings the clothes to life, but the stylist is the most important of them all. Honey you got that drama together when it comes to styling these simple pieces but major results. This couldn't get any better.Everything is perfect and cleanEnjoy your WeekendxHttp://www.fashiongalorelovers.com

I think this has to be one of my all-time-favorites, Idu. This is so sophisticated, I love the elegant Italian vibe to it. I don't know why, but it reminds me of a sophisticated Italian lady who just stepped out of her palazzo. You are amazing, Idu.kisses Lenyanew look: Pink It Up

I do agree, dear Idu! Clothes talk for sure and your outfit of today sends a wonderful, stylish and very elegant message about the beautiful lady who wears it! Happy new week <3xx from Bavaria/Germany, Rena www.dressedwithsoul.com

Those are some serious statement pants Idu! I thought they might be heavy when you mentioned brocade but it sounds like you get the best of both worlds with style and a striking silhouette! Your styling is on point as always!

You bag is to die for, Idu! Love your amazing look. The fact that you're in Paris its even more perfect! You are so flawless! These photos are FANTASTIC!!!! Well done girl!Thanks for the inspiration!Have a wonderful week!Much love, Lenwww.lenparent.com

Holy mother of God, you look absolutely sensational, Idu! Honestly you look like you're fresh out of a 70's editorial! I am the opposite of you, I love earrings and always wear a pair whenever I leave the house.

Can you say Parisian Chic? You look so refreshingly stunning. I love brocade and the air of opulence it carries. I especially love how you minimized everything else and kept itnthe star. Fancy seeing you in earrings....love it. Your description is so hilarious. Keep slaying queen!

What an incredible outfit! I adore those pants, they look great paired with the fresh and crips shirt! I also love the bold lip and Chanel bag, too! You know, I hadn't realized that you don't wear earrings in nearly all your outfit posts. Usually your hair covers your ears, but now I know you're not a fan. I'm very picky with mine, which is why I typically wear hoops. Thanks for sharing, beauty, and I hope you're having a great week so far!
